I did this look about two weeks ago, which I scheduled to be published today. Exactly four days before Valentine's Day, haha...

I felt like doing a look with liquid liner, which I don't do very often, since liquid liners are so difficult to use on my weird-shaped eyes. I have to draw a really thick line so that it is visible at all once I open my eyes, since I have so called 'hidden double lids'. I believe, the technical term is called 'epicanthic fold'.

Means, the tiny fold is overlapped by the upper lid, when my eyes are open. It's hard to explain in words, but I hope, you kinda get an idea what I mean.

Anyways, here is a lightly winged liquid liner look, which I feel turned out quite romantic. So, I decided this to be my Romantic Valentine Look! ♥

Juli from Sanctuary sent me a pair of her hand-made swarvoski heart earrings. Isn't it adorable? Thank you, Juli! I looove it!

A closer look at the earrings! Isn't the heart chain so dainty and cute? And perfect for Valentine's Day too!

Since I wanted the eyes to look really clean with all attention to the lightly winged eyeliner, I didn't line my lower lid. I just applied mascara to my (very sparse) lower lashes, lined the waterline with a white pencil liner to make the eyes look fresher and brighter.

To add a bit of definition to my flat eyes, I used the pale gold color on the inner corner, and along the lower lashline halfway out. The medium taupe color in an almond shape on the whole eyelid, and along the lower lashline halfway in. Lastly, I added the sparkly silver shadow right on the ball of the eyelids.

In this close up, it indeed seems as if I used another color on the outer corner, but I actually didn't. I have no idea why it looks like that though! I'm sure this look would have turned out much nicer with falsies on, but I have to confess, that I'm unable to handle with falsies. ;/

On my cheeks I used the SUQQU Blend Cheeks ~ 05 Kasanebeni once again! I really have neglected this blush for too long! Why? I really like the soft peachy flush it gives me!

Maquillage Moisture Rouge (Sheer Type) ~ RS 713 on my lips! This lipstick goes on super smooth and has a watery feel on the lips. There is a light metallic shimmer to it, which is luckily not over the top. I appreciate the glossy finish and the moist texture. RS 717 is a cool-toned rose color, which will flatter most Asian skintones with a fair complexion. I'm glad it showed up on my pigmented lips!

Ending this post with this doll-like (picnik-ed) picture of me, haha... Just a random note: the bf said I looked like a 8 year old school girl in this photo here, haha... Oh, dear! Happy Valentine, everyone!♥

Oh, and I received a love package from Akisa from akisalove.com last week too! I'll show you what I got in one of my following posts! So, stay tuned! ;)

Jess you look really cute here! I`m in love with your lip colour... I dont want to buy anymore lipsticks, but what you`re sporting is tempting me. I liked how you lined your eyes - i have small lids and if I draw any thicker lines you can see my lashes haha.. so when im lazy i use liquid liner and give the mascara a miss!

btw i am eyeing up your concealer ;).. have you done a review on it yet? Im looking around your labels and I cant find it.. how is it?? I love their foundation, so I wouldnt mind trying out their concealer ^^

Winged eyeliner really suits you! I can't do them anymore, there was a time when I was addicted to them and always had to use them and hated the pencil liners. But luckily I got out of it coz it surely took a lot of time just to line the eyes. Now I can't go back. Might try gel liners someday :D

Nevertheless I love your Valentine look! Unfortunately don't have anyone special to spend it with so make-up will not be necessary on that day I guess. But luckily, I have the Chinese New Year as an excuse :D

Adorable valentine's look Jess :) and those earrings are so cute! I love the heart chain!

hahaha I think we are both commenting on each other's blog about the same time cuz I just got your message notification in my email :p Yea LUSH store gives me a headache sometimes too, I swear that's their strategy, to make me buy everything in a hurry and just jump out of the store! LOL. Shopping online is much more pleasant :p I really like their bubble bars mainly, because they make an awesome bath!

an absolutely sweet look just nice for Valentine's. I like the clean cut liner look too :D.Oh..this reminds me that I have not celebrated Vday yet since it's clashing with the Chinese Lunar New Year too.. :/
